Re: [PATCH 2/3] httpfs: Fix HTTP GET request when fetching site with ls or cat

[Gianluca Cannata]

Hi Samuel, Amos, Hurd team,

below you can find a first patch towards HTTP compatibility that fixes
the HEAD request so that we can successfully do the following:

settrans -fac /tmp/site/ ./httpfs -D www.example.com/
In the HTML parser for parsing tmp
trying to open www.example.com:80/http://www.example.com/
entering the main loop

ls -1 /tmp/site/
filling out dir tmp
index.html

Hope it helps.

Sincerely,

Gianluca
